I was leaving my mom house around ten O'clock at night. As I was five minutes away from my apartments my car made a loud sound and started to slow down. I stop my car and put it un park and I seen smoke coming from inside the hood. I get out the car and grab my son and, I knock on someone's door for help and after that fire starts. I call the fire department and they came in about 3-5 minutes and they forced my hood open due to my hood latch missing. After the fire was put out I found pieces of metal on the ground from my Kia.

On 6/5/17 I was driving from mccall to boise Idaho which is approximately 90 miles. I parked the car at walmart and went out to start it and it would not start at first then when it would restarted it would die quickly approximately 3 times. I drove it to the boise dennis dillon Kia dealership and on the way it stalled, did chugging sound at a stop sign in town and jerked forward and I was able to make it there. The car has been burning oil and I would have to put a quart of oil in probably once a week. My brother who is a mechanic helped me to get parts for it at O"reilly auto parts and helped me replace the valve cover gasket, spark plugs, plug tube seals, headlight bulb, and air filter to see if that would help. Later I ended up buying a new oil filer cap to see if that would help but nothing ever seemed to.

Numerous times over the past couple of months, both the ESC and dbc indicator lights will come on and stay on as I'm attempting to park the vehicle. This has prevented me from shifting the car into 'park' after pulling into a parking space as I can't get it to shift beyond 'neutral.' When this happens, I've had to shut the car off, and start it again. If the indicator lights go off after restarting, I can then shift the car into park. I brought the car into my local Kia dealer this morning but they were unable to replicate the issue, and since they didn't have a technician on duty to look at it, I now have to return on Monday in the hope that they can figure out and fix this issue.

My car stalls while driving on the highway or street. The engine light or dashboard lights will come on and my car will not accelerate although it is on. After continously trying to accelerate the car cuts off. I put the car in park and turn off and it starts again. This is unsafe because I can be hit by another when my car suddenly decides to not accelerate. The component part or system that may be the cause is unknown.

We have replaced the brakes several times and the calipers as well. Now we are having issues again with them. We see that there has been a recall for this issue. This happened in 2017, 2018, and now again in 2019. Two out of four of our doors will not open from the outside, we see there is also a recall for this issue. Please advise us how we go about getting these recalls for our vehicle as we are tired of putting out money when we shouldn't have to repeatedly.

Vehicle was parked in the garage and stationary. When trying to start the vehicle using the key-less ignition, dash and interior lights started to flicker in the vehicle and relays start to click. Locks would not operate nor could I shift into neutral, started to smelt burning, pushed ignition button to shut down. Would not shut off, electrical kept cycling like it was trying to start on its own, had to disconnect the battery to shut down the car. Starter solenoid never engaged at any time nor did the engine try to turn over.
